Though many recall the glory days of survival horror (which lasted roughly from the late 90s to the mid 00s), few remember a chilling 2006 title called Rule of Rose. Those who had the good fortune (or misfortune, as some might see it) of playing it remember it as, if nothing else, a creepy and…
When everyone’s favorite archaeologist Dr. Henry “Indiana” Jones rode off into the sunset at the end of 1989’s Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, few expected the character or his beloved film franchise (which also included 1981’s Raiders of the Lost Ark and 1984’s Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom) to ever return to…
Last August, Sony made available a downloadable demo called “P.T.” (which, it was later revealed, stood for “playable trailer”) that was developed by a company named 7780s Studio. Those who downloaded this trailer and played it discovered that it was actually a preview for Konami’s newest entry in its legendary video game series Silent Hill,…
I dedicate this week’s column to my boyfriend, who has endured the hundreds of complaints and whines escape my lips and my cell phone regarding the state of my feet. First of all, I lovingly refer to my feet as Hobbit feet, not due to any amount of hair mind you. My feet are small, but…
It’s been fourth-teens years, since the release of Majora’s Mask on the Nintendo 64. The game is considered the black sheep of the Zelda franchise. While the typical Zelda game is Princess Zelda being kip-napped, defeating Ganondorf, or recollecting pieces of the Triforce, Majora’s Mask takes a much darker and deeper turn. It is Link’s…
Neil Gaiman has announced the release date of his newest illustrated book The Sleeper and Spindle. Gaiman has once again teamed up with illustrator Chris Riddell to create a reimagining of a couple of beloved fairytales. Think Snow White mixed with Sleeping Beauty and add a dash of darkness, told in a way only Gaiman…
Welcome to the brave new world. A 31-year-old Navy serviceman has recently been released from a rehabilitation program where he was treated for his Google Glass-enabled internet addiction. According to reports, the man came in to the Navy’s Substance Abuse and Recovery Program to be treated for his alcoholism, but doctors soon discovered startling behaviors after…
A long, long time ago, in a day when your grandparents road dinosaurs to school but also somehow managed to walk to and from school, in a blizzard, uphill both ways, television was created. People were in a tizzy. Radio would no longer be the main medium of entertainment for children around the world. How…
Happy Friday, book lovers! Did you buy and read Chopsticks yet? I certainly hope so! Last week (with much thanks to the G2B2 vote), I managed to convince an old friend of mine to get her own copy of that awesome little book and guess what? She loved it! (Well, actually, she’s quite tormented like I…
The most frustrating thing about wine, besides the occasional hangover, is tasting an exceptionally wonderful wine while you are out to dinner and then not being able to recall that particular wine a couple of weeks later when you are really in the mood for another glass. Vivino wine app to the rescue. With over…
Youth violence has unfortunately become a common headliner in modern news coverage. Last January proved no different for British news consumers, who opened their newspapers, turned on their televisions, and checked their favorite websites to see the face of Steven Miles. Dexter Inspired Murder? Miles, a 16-year-old whom his peers noted for his odd behavior,…
Four days full of reveals, surprise guests and screaming fans came to a close Sunday afternoon as “Sleepy Hollow,” Fox’s hit show, closed out the main stage at New York Comic Con 2014. But it definitely wasn’t a sad occasion. Actor Orlando Jones made sure of that. He was joined onstage by costar Lyndie Greenwood…
While we may all rest in quiet anticipation for 2015, given that Avengers: Age of Ultron, Ant-Man, Star Wars Episode VII, and Mad Max (just to name a few) are slated to debut, it appears that the following year just got as exciting. Reports confirm that Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man is on the cusp…
I had my doubts about FOX’s Gotham, but after seeing the first two episodes (“Pilot” and “Selina Kyle”) I’m officially on-board. Initially my fears were that Gotham would be a generic cop drama with occasional nods to the Batman canon, but the show is instead neo-noir mixed with elements of a crime drama and action series.

Tomorrow, October 14th 2K’s Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel will make its debut on console and PC alike.
